Abstract:
Nowadays, computer networks are present in almost every organization and no organization can work without depending on computer networks. These computer networks provide wide range of network services to the applications and hardware devices used by the organization. Beside these facilities provided by the networks, there are also many problems arises and one of them was the physical presence of network administrator on
the location of computer network in order to control and manage the network. In Network
Monitoring System (NMS) a new methodology has been applied to control and manage
computer network remotely using cell phone. A windows based application is developed
and installed on any client machine attached to the network which monitors the important
services provided by the network and if any problem arises with those services a text
message is send to the network administrator containing the description of the problem
and for this purpose a GSM Modem is used by the client machine to send and receive text
messages. In the meanwhile the network administrator can send specified commands to the GSM modem as a reply which can be applied to the network with the help of monitoring application to resolve the issue.
